ABSTRACT

one or more dyes of the general formula (II)  
                 
 
and optionally one or more dyes of the general formula (III)  
                 
 
where D 1 , D 2 , D 3 , D 4 , D 5 , R 0 , R*, R**, T, b, f, v, and M are as defined in claim 1, the dyes of the general formulae (I)-(III) containing at least one fiber-reactive group of the formula —SO 2 -Z or -Z 2 , are prepared and used for dyeing hydroxyl- and/or carboxamido-containing fiber material.

The invention is situated within the technical field of the fiber-reactive azo dyes.

Mixed fiber-reactive azo dyes and their use for dyeing hydroxyl- and carboxamide-containing material in black shades are known for example from the documents U.S. Pat. No. 5,445,654, U.S. Pat. No. 5,611,821, KR94-2560, Sho 58-160362 and EP-A-0 870 807. However, they do have certain application defects, such as for example an overly large dependence of the color yield on varying dyeing parameters in the dyeing operation, or an insufficient or unlevel color buildup on cotton (good color buildup results from the ability of a dye to provide a proportionally stronger dyeing when used in higher concentrations in the dyebath). Consequences of these defects may for example be poor reproducibilities for the dyeings that are obtainable, ultimately impacting on the economics of the dyeing operation. Consequently, there continues to be a need for new reactive dyes and mixtures thereof with improved properties, such as high substantivity coupled with the capacity for unfixed portions to be washed off. Moreover, they must also provide good dyeing yields and possess high reactivity, and ought in particular to give dyeings with high degrees of fixation.

The present invention, then, provides dye mixtures which possess these above-described properties to a high degree. The novel dye mixtures are notable in particular for high yields of fixation and ease of wash-off of the portions not fixed on the fiber. In addition, the dyeings possess good general fastness properties, such as high light fastness and very good wet fastnesses, for example, and exhibit little tendency to stain polyamide in the case of cotton/polyamide blends.

The invention accordingly provides dye mixtures comprising one or more, such as two or three, preferably 1 or 2, dyes of the hereinbelow indicated and defined general formula (I)

one or more, such as two or three, preferably 1 or 2, dyes of the hereinbelow indicated and defined general formula (II)

and optionally one or more, such as two or three, preferably 1 or 2, dyes of the hereinbelow indicated and defined general formula (III)

The dye mixtures of the invention can be present as a preparation in solid or liquid (dissolved) form. In solid form they contain, to the extent necessary, the electrolyte salts customary in the case of water-soluble and especially fiber-reactive dyes, such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium sulfate, and may further include the auxiliaries customary in commercial dyes, such as buffer substances capable of setting a pH in aqueous solution of between 3 and 7, such as sodium acetate, sodium citrate, sodium borate, sodium hydrogencarbonate, sodium dihydrogenphosphate, and disodium hydrogenphosphate, and also dyeing auxiliaries, dustproofing agents, and small amounts of siccatives; when they are present in a liquid, aqueous solution (including a content of thickeners of the type customary in print pastes) they may also include substances which ensure a long life for these preparations, such as mold preventatives, for example.

In solid form, the dye mixtures of the invention are generally present as powders or granules which contain electrolyte salt (and which will hereinbelow generally be referred to as preparations) with or without one or more of the abovementioned auxiliaries. Within the preparations the dye mixture is present at to 90% by weight, based on the preparation comprising it. The buffer substances are generally present in a total amount of up to 5% by weight, based on the preparation.

When the dye mixtures of the invention are present in aqueous solution, the total dye content of these aqueous solutions is up to about 50% by weight, such as between 5 and 50% by weight, for example, and the electrolyte salt content of these aqueous solutions is preferably below 10% by weight, based on the aqueous solution; the aqueous solutions (liquid preparations) may contain the aforementioned buffer substances in an amount which is generally up to 5% by weight, preferably up to 2% by weight.

Dyes of the general formula (I) are described in large numbers in the literature and are known, for example, from the U.S. Pat. No. 2,657,205 and from the Japanese published patent application Sho-58-160 362, and also from the U.S. Pat. No. 4,257,770 and the literature cited therein, while dyes of the general formula (II) are described in DE 196 00 765 A1. Dyes of the general formula (III) are likewise described in large numbers and obtainable by standard synthesis methods. Dyes of the general formulae (15) to (18) are formed in some cases during the synthesis of dyes of the general formulae (I) and (II) and are likewise obtainable by standard synthesis methods. Dyes of the general formula (15) and (16) are normally employed as shading components. Dyes of the formula (Ga)-(Gf) are known from the literature and obtainable by standard methods.

The dye mixtures of the invention are preparable in a conventional manner, as by mechanical mixing of the individual dyes, either in the form of their dye powders or granules or of their synthesis solutions, or in the form of aqueous solutions of the individual dyes generally, which may additionally include customary auxiliaries, or by conventional diazotization and coupling of suitable mixtures of diazo components and coupling components in the desired proportions.

For example, when the diazo components bearing the groups D¹, D⁴, and D⁵ as per the general formulae (I), (II), and (III) possess the same definitions (D¹=D⁴=D⁵), an amine of the general formula (19) D¹-NH₂  (19), where D¹ is as defined above, can be diazotized in conventional manner and the resulting diazonium compound then reacted with an aqueous solution or suspension of a mixture in definable proportion of a monoazo dye of the general formula (15), a monoazo dye of the general formula (17), and a coupling component of the general formula (20)

where T, R⁰, M, b, f and v are as defined above.

Where the groups D² and D³ and also D¹, D⁴, and D⁵ as per the general formulae (I), (II) and (III) possess the same definition (D²=D³ and D¹=D⁴=D⁵) the dye mixture of the invention may be prepared by conventionally diazotizing an amine of the general formula (21) D²-NH₂  (21), where D² is as defined above, and coupling the product to a mixture of the coupling components of the general formulae (22) and (23)

where M, R*, and R** are as defined above, at a pH below 3 in a first stage, adding a further coupling component of the general formula (20) to the resultant reaction mixture, and then diazotizing an amine of the general formula (19) and coupling the product to the resultant mixture of the monoazo dyes of the general formulae (15) and (17) and also the coupling component of the general formula (20).

Alternatively, where the groups D¹ to D⁵ as per the general formulae (I), (II) and (III) possess the same definition (D¹=D²=D³=D⁴=D⁵), the dye mixture of the invention can be prepared by conventionally diazotizing an amine of the general formula (19) and coupling the product to a mixture in defined proportion of the coupling components of the general formulae (20), (22), and (23) first at a pH below 3 in a first stage to give a mixture of the monoazo dyes of the general formulae (15) and (17) and also the coupling component of the general formula (20), and subsequently raising the pH to carry out the second coupling to give the mixture of the dyes of the general formulae (I), (II), and (III).

The dye mixture of the invention is isolated in conventional manner by salting out for example with sodium chloride or potassium chloride or by spray drying or evaporative concentration.

Likewise, the solutions obtained during the synthesis of the dyes of the general formulae (I), (II), and (III) may be used directly as liquid preparations for dyeing, where appropriate following addition of a buffer substance and where appropriate following concentration.

Dye mixtures which as well as β-chloroethylsulfonyl or β-thiosulfatoethylsulfonyl or β-sulfatoethylsulfonyl groups contain vinylsulfonyl groups as reactive radicals as well can be synthesized not only starting from appropriately substituted vinylsulfonyl anilines or naphthylamines but also by reaction of a dye mixture where Z is &chloroethyl, β-thiosulfatoethyl, or β-sulfatoethyl with an amount of alkali required for the desired fraction, and conversion of the aforementioned β-substituted ethylsulfonyl groups into vinylsulfonyl groups. This conversion is effected in the manner familiar to the skilled worker.

The dye mixtures of the invention possess useful performance properties. They are used for dyeing or printing hydroxyl- and/or carboxamido-containing materials, in the form for example of sheetlike structures, such as paper and leather or of films, composed for example of polyamide, or in bulk, as for example polyamide and polyurethane, but especially for dyeing and printing these materials in fiber form. Similarly, the as-synthesized solutions of the dye mixtures of the invention can be used directly as a liquid preparation for dyeing, where appropriate following addition of a buffer substance and also, where appropriate, following concentration or dilution.

The present invention accordingly also provides for the use of the dye mixtures of the invention for dyeing or printing these materials, or methods of dyeing or printing such materials in conventional ways, which comprise using a dye mixture of the invention or its individual components (dyes) individually together as colorant(s). The materials are preferably employed in the form of fiber materials, particularly in the form of textile fibers, such as woven fabrics or yarns, as in the form of hanks or wound packages.

Hydroxyl-containing materials are those of natural or synthetic origin, such as cellulose fiber materials or their regenerated products and polyvinyl alcohols, for example. Cellulose fiber materials are preferably cotton, but also other vegetable fibers, such as linen, hemp, jute, and ramie fibers; regenerated cellulose fibers are for example stable viscose and filament viscose and also chemically modified cellulose fibers, such as aminated cellulose fibers or fibers as described for example in WO 96/37641 and WO 96/37642 and also in EP-A-0 538 785 and EP-A-0 692 559.

Examples of carboxamide-containing materials include synthetic and natural polyamides and polyurethanes, particularly in the form of fibers, for example, wool and other animal hairs, silk, leather, nylon-6,6, nylon-6, nylon-11, and nylon-4.

The dye mixtures of the invention can be applied to and fixed on the substrates mentioned, especially the fiber materials mentioned, by the application techniques known for water-soluble dyes and especially for fiber-reactive dyes. For instance, on cellulose fibers they produce by the exhaust method from a long liquor and also from a short liquor—for example, in a liquor to goods ratio of 5:1 to 100:1, preferably 6:1 to 30:1—using various acid-binding agents and optionally neutral salts as far as is necessary, such as sodium chloride or sodium sulfate, dyeings having very good color yields. Dyeing is effected preferably in an aqueous bath at temperatures between 40 and 105° C., if desired at a temperature of up to 130° C. under superatmospheric pressure, but preferably at to 95° C., especially 45 to 65° C., in the presence or absence of customary dyeing auxiliaries. One possible procedure here is to introduce the material into the warm bath and gradually to heat the bath to the desired dyeing temperature and complete the dyeing operation at that temperature. The neutral salts which accelerate the exhaustion of the dyes may also if desired not be added to the bath until after the actual dyeing temperature has been reached.

Padding processes likewise provide excellent color yields and a very good color buildup on cellulose fibers, the dyes being fixable in conventional manner by batching at room temperature or elevated temperature, at up to 60° C. approximately, for example, or continuously, for example by means of a pad dry-pad steam process, by steaming, or using dry heat.

Similarly, the customary printing processes for cellulose fibers, which can be carried out in one step, by printing for example with a print paste containing sodium bicarbonate or some other acid-binding agent and by subsequent steaming at 100 to 103° C., or in two steps, by printing for example with a neutral to weakly acidic print color and then fixing either by passing the printed material through a hot, electrolyte-containing alkaline bath or by overpadding with an alkaline, electrolyte-containing padding liquor and subsequent batching or steaming or dry heat treatment of the alkali-overpadded material, produced strong prints with well-defined contours and a clear white ground. The outcome of the prints is little affected, if at all, by variations in the fixing conditions.

When fixing by means of dry heat in accordance with the customary thermofix processes, hot air at 120 to 200° C. is used. As well as the customary steam at 101 to 103° C. it is also possible to use superheated steam and high-pressure steam at temperatures of up to 160° C.

The agents which bind acid and effect the fixation of the dyes of the dye mixtures of the invention on the cellulose fibers are, for example, water-soluble basic salts of alkali metals and likewise alkaline earth metals of organic or inorganic acids or compounds which liberate alkali in the heat, and also alkali metal silicates. Mention may be made in particular of the alkali metal hydroxides and alkali metal salts of weak to medium organic or inorganic acids, the preferred alkali metal compounds being the sodium and potassium compounds.

Examples of such acid-binding agents include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium formate, sodium hydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogenphosphate, sodium trichloroacetate, trisodium phosphate or waterglass or mixtures thereof, such as mixtures of sodium hydroxide solution and waterglass, for example.

When employed in the dyeing and printing processes, the dye mixtures of the invention are distinguished by outstanding color strength on the cellulose fiber materials, this performance being achievable in some cases even in the absence of or presence of only very small amounts of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compounds. In these special cases a low depth of shade requires no electrolyte salt, a moderate depth of shade no more than 5 g/l of electrolyte salt, and for deep shades not more than 10 g/l of electrolyte salt.

A shallow depth of shade refers here to the use of 2% by weight of dye based on the substrate to be dyed, a moderate depth of shade refers to the use of from 2 to 4% by weight of dye based on the substrate to be dyed, and a deep shade refers to the use of from 4 to 10% by weight of dye based on the substrate to be dyed.

The dyeings and prints obtainable with the dye mixtures of the invention possess bright shades; more particularly, the dyeings and prints on cellulose fiber materials possess good light fastness and, in particular, good wetfastnesses, such as fastness to washing, milling, seawater, crossdyeing, and acidic and alkaline perspiration, also good fastness to pleating, hot pressing, and rubbing. Furthermore, the cellulose dyeings obtained following the customary after treatment of rinsing to remove unfixed dye portions exhibit excellent wet fastnesses, especially since unfixed dye portions are easily washed off on account of their ready solubility in cold water.

Furthermore, the dye mixtures of the invention can also be used for the fiber-reactive dyeing of wool. Moreover, wool which has been given a nonfelting or low-felting finish (cf., for example, H. Rath, Lehrbuch der Textilchemie, Springer-Verlag, 3^(rd) edition (1972), pp. 295-299, especially finished by the Hercosett process (p. 298); J. Soc. Dyers and Colorists 1972, 93-99, and 1975, 33-44) can be dyed with very good fastness properties. The process of dyeing on wool takes place here in a conventional manner from an acidic medium. For instance, acetic acid and/or ammonium sulfate or acetic acid and ammonium acetate or sodium acetate can be added to the dyebath to obtain the desired pH. To obtain a dyeing of acceptable levelness it is advisable to add customary leveling agents, such as agents based on a reaction product of cyanuric chloride with three times the molar amount of an aminobenzenesulfonic acid and/or of an aminonaphthalenesulfonic acid or based on a reaction product of, for example, stearylamine with ethylene oxide. For example, the dye mixture of the invention is preferably subjected to the exhaust process initially from an acid dyebath having a pH of about 3.5 to 5.5 with pH monitoring and then the pH, toward the end of the dyeing time, is shifted into the mutual and optionally weakly alkaline range up to a pH of 8.5 to bring about, especially for very deep dyeings, the full reactive bond between the dyes of the dye mixtures of the invention and the fiber. At the same time, the fraction of dye which has not been reactively bound is removed.

The procedure described here also applies to the production of dyeings on fiber materials composed of other natural polyamides or of synthetic polyamides and polyurethanes. Generally speaking, the material to be dyed is introduced into the bath at a temperature of about 40° C., agiated therein for some time, the dyebath is then adjusted to the weakly acidic, preferably weakly acetic acid, pH, and the actual dyeing is carried out at a temperature of between 60 and 98° C. However, the dyeings can also be carried out at boiling temperature or in closed dyeing apparatus at temperatures of up to 106° C. Since the water solubility of the dye mixtures of the invention is very good they can also be used with advantage in customary continuous dyeing processes. The color strength of the dye mixtures of the invention is very high.

On the aforementioned materials, preferably fiber materials, the dye mixtures of the invention provide dyeings in navy to jet black shades which have very good fastness properties.

The examples hereinbelow serve to illustrate the invention. Parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise noted. Parts by weight relate to parts by volume as the kilogram relates to the liter. The compounds described by formula in the examples are written in the form of the sodium salts, since they are generally prepared and isolated in the form of their salts, preferably sodium or potassium salts, and are used in the form of their salts for dyeing. The starting compounds specified in the examples below, especially the tabular examples, can be employed in the synthesis in the form of the free acid or likewise in the form of their salts, preferably alkali metal salts, such as sodium or potassium salts.

The 65:20:15 mixture of the three azo dyes (I-1), (II-1), and (III-2) formed after the end of the second coupling reaction is isolated by spray drying.

Alternatively, the dye solution obtained can also be buffered at a pH of 5.5-6 by adding a phosphate buffer and adjusted by further dilution or concentration as a liquid brand of defined strength.

b) In a second, separate reaction vessel, 316 parts of 2-methoxy-5-(β-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)aniline are suspended in 950 parts of ice-water and 183 parts of 30% hydrochloric acid and diazotized by dropwise addition of 177 parts of 40% sodium nitrite solution. The excess nitrite is then removed with amidosulfonic acid solution and the diazo suspension obtained is pumped into the coupler mixture from a).

A pH of 5.5-6.5 is then set using sodium carbonate at below 25° C., and the 60:20:20 mixture of the three dyes (I-2), (II-3), and (III-4) formed after the end of the second coupling reaction is isolated by concentration under reduced pressure or by spray drying.

The resultant dye mixture of the invention dyes cotton in black shades.

EXAMPLE 6

a) 351 parts of 4-(β-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)aniline are suspended in 850 parts of ice-water and 225 parts of 30% hydrochloric acid and diazotized by dropwise addition of 216 parts of 40% sodium nitrite solution. 319 parts of 1-amino-8-hydroxy-naphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid and 83 parts of 4-hydroxy-7-(sulfomethylamino)naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid, prepared as indicated in Example 3, are added and coupling is carried out in a first stage at a pH of from 1 to 1.5 and at below 20° C. to give a mixture of the two monoazo dyes conforming to the formulae (15-1) and (17-1). The stated pH range is set and maintained during the coupling reaction by adding solid sodium hydrogen carbonate.

b) In a second, separate reaction vessel, 427 parts of 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(β-sulfatoethylsulfonyl)aniline are suspended in 1200 parts of ice-water and 226 parts of 30% hydrochloric acid and diazotized by dropwise addition of 217 parts of 40% sodium nitrite solution. The excess nitrite is then removed with amidosulfonic acid solution and the resultant diazo suspension, when the first coupling is at an end, is pumped into the solution of the two monoazo dyes from a).

The pH is then adjusted to 5-6 at below 25° C. using sodium carbonate and the dye solution obtained after the end of the second coupling reaction is admixed with 250 parts of an orange-colored dye of the formula (III-5). The resultant 67:17:16 mixture of the three azo dyes (I-3), (II-4), and (III-5) can be isolated by concentration under reduced pressure or by spray drying.

The resultant dye mixture of the invention dyes cotton in black shades.
